For the sound setup: loadSoundVBX() { echo loadsoundVBX... kldload snd_driver cat /dev/sndstat echo 'snd_ich_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf } kldload snd_driver will load the sound driver that it thinks would be the best, but then the driver is changed to ``snd_ich`` in the script. If a user has ``snd_hda``, then the script should output snd_hda and substitute in the loading statement. I see the following code could do the job, but it might need some testing :( #!/bin/sh # # Detect sound driver for driver in /boot/kernel/snd_*; do driver=$(echo ${driver} | sed 's|/boot/kernel/snd_||') if [ ${driver} = "driver.ko" ]; then continue; fi kldload snd_${driver} if [ -c /dev/mixer0 ]; then echo "I'm smelling 'snd_${driver}'" echo "snd_${driver}_load=\"YES\"" >> /boot/loader.conf exit 0 fi kldunload snd_${driver} done This found in here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=22726 The script looks very nice and it could be a valuable asset for the future. Still, there are some things that we(users) need to do by hand and get our hands dirty :) In my case, I could not determine my sound card, I did not get very nice information from cat /dev/sndstat [olivares@tricorehome ~]$ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64) Installed devices: pcm0: <HDA VIA VT1708B_1 PCM #0 Analog> (play/rec) default pcm1: <HDA VIA VT1708B_1 PCM #1 Analog> (play) pcm2: <HDA VIA VT1708B_1 PCM #2 Digital> (play) But thanks to list members and their experience, someone suggested to use snd_hda and it worked to perfection :) Regards, Antonio _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
